Liberation of Hyderabad state from Nizam
After India got
freedom from the british rule most of the princely states existing at that
point of time joined in India or Pakistan and some of them remained to be
neutral one among them is the Hyderabad state or Nizam state. The region is now
exists in three states of Telanagana, Karnataka and Maharashtra when the bifurcation
of states or states formed on the basis of language.
But due to the rise of Razakars and the violence that
took place after the Indian Independence in this region prompted the Indian
Government to send its troops and
invaded the state in September 1948, The Nizam signed the instrument of
accession, joining India.
END OF NIZAM RULE:
At 4 a.m. on 13 September 1948,
India's Hyderabad Campaign, code-named "Operation Polo" by the Indian
Army, began. Indian troops invaded Hyderabad from all points of the compass. On
13 September 1948, the Secretary-General of the Hyderabad Department of
External Affairs in a cablegram informed the United Nations Security Council
that Hyderabad was being invaded by Indian forces and that hostilities had
broken out. The Security Council took notice of it on 16 September in Paris.
The representative of Hyderabad called for immediate action by the Security
Council under chapter VII of the United Nations Charter. The Hyderabad
representative responded to India's excuse for the intervention by pointing out
that the Stand-still Agreement between the two countries had expressly provided
that nothing in it should give India the right to send in troops to assist in
the maintenance of internal order. At 5 p.m. on 17 September the Nizam
surrendered. India then incorporated the state of Hyderabad into the Union
of India and ended the rule of the Nizams
